So, I’m heading home with Albi after a lovely morning walk today, wearing my lucky Western Kentucky t-shirt (the one with Big Red on it), and I hear someone say, “Excuse me.” And I look over, and this woman is getting out of her SUV in her drive way, and she opens up her jacket to show… her HILLTOPPERS T-SHIRT.<\/p>\n
I yell “SHUT UP” and run over and hug her. I then notice her husband is also wearing a Hilltoppers t-shirt. She’s from Bowling Green, and her siblings all graduated from WKU. Her husband was born in Denmark but grew up in the USA. They got married in Germany — I don’t have all the details of that yet. She says she knows Nancy Toombs in Henderson, Kentucky (2006 recipient of an awared from the National Education Association).<\/i><\/p>\n
We’re now all best friends and hope to get together soon.<\/p>\n
And I probably scared all my ever-so-reserved, never-make-eye-contact neighbors to death with all my jumping up and down, but I DON’T CARE. It’s time to shake up Oregon with some real Kentucky ENERGY. (I’m not sure Germany has ever recovered from my eight years there…).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
